WOW what a couple months it’s been since the last update. Ok FINALLY got the radiator situation solved & FURYIOUS runs cool & leaner now with less weight from the lighter radiator. Switched out the carburetor to a Holley 750 DP & seemed to be ok but battling a fuel leak. Think I have that fixed. So finally started on the cars body & it’s a disaster. Bondo a 1/4 thick in the quarter panels. What in the world ? Rusted out holes full of old tired bondo. I expected rust. I mean I can see the bubbles in the usual places, but to bathe the damn quarter in bondo a 1/4 thick. So I was planing on painting the car , but I think now I’m just going to rebondo the bubbles. Make it look as good as I can. Spray it back yellow & just race it like that the rest of the year. I’ll work on another race car body I have here that Wollfen has already done some work on this winter & if I get it finished in time I’ll run it next season & park FURYIOUS till I decide what to do with it it. FURYIOUS has a lot of good high quality & fairly new, hardly used race parts on it. It needs quarter skins put

on it. So I’ll run it till the next car is ready is the plan. Now before the carb swap I did take it out once more. It ran the quickest yet at 8.32 with me easing off the line due to a massive carb bog. 60 foot off a tenth so it’s a 8-teen car. I also bought a 4:10 gear with a spool to replace the 3:73 sure grip & that should knock the ET down some more.
 
About to install the 4:10 spool. Had to reposition the car in the shop. Still have a darn misfire

So whats the plan with the missing metal?
Fiberglass??
Sorry I haven’t updated on here in a while. Several updates on my YouTube channel & the Facebook page. I ended up using both two part epoxy & fiberglass. About to start on the passenger side. Maybe today if I get time.
